THUNDER!!
The sky above Zeta Tower darkened beneath gathering storm clouds.
A violent flash of lightning tore across the heavens, illuminating the city for an instant and revealing the enormous damage inflicted upon the Zeta Tower.
Thunder rolled across the skyline moments later, deep enough to make the surrounding buildings tremble.
People walking near Zeta Tower stopped in their tracks.
They stared upward in shock as shattered fragments of smart-reinforced glass continued falling from the upper floors.
"Move! Everyone, move away from the building!"
Soldiers and police officers rushed through the streets, forcing civilians away from the dangerous perimeter as automated emergency barriers unfolded from the pavement.
Warning drones hovered above the streets, projecting red holographic symbols through the rain while repeatedly broadcasting evacuation instructions.
